Date:8/5/97 Venue: Manchester Acadamey, England

The support acts where Stuck Mojo and Entomed. Stuck Mojo where a cross between Machine Head and Rage Against the Machine. They where far more original and heavier than most rock/rap bands i've heard, i liked them a lot. Entombed, well what can i say , basically a decent death metal band. I'm not a fan of that genre of rock, but this band i did like so joined in the slamming(came out unscathed). Type o negative started their set with 'we hate evryone', then went on to do a brilliant version of 'Love you death'. The whole set whole set consisted of tracks from October rust and Bloody kisses, including classics such as 'Christian women'and 'My girlfreinds girlfreind'. A blistering version of 'Kill all the white people ' was performed with the lead singer of Stuck Mojo (Who happens to be african american!).Pete steele inbetween songs was chatting to the crowd and seemed to be realy enjoying himself.At one point he was complaining that his bootle of red wine he was drinking on stage , would run dry. Type o negative played extremely well and tight. But the song of the night for has to be 'Wolf moon'. Type o fans arn't just young , I got talking to a married couple from North Wales who here 47 and 48 years of age. So there you go.
